National Reports

An Example

Roel Lanting (TNO)

What was the question?

• National indicators and frameworks

• Indicators with national acceptance

• Other indicators (e.g. local)

• Ongoing national research and results

Problem

• What is an indicator (set)?

• When is it construction related?

• Should we make distinction between indicators according to their use?

What is an indicator

• Simplified way of expressing a phenomenon

• Understandable for non-experts (means of communication)

• Measurable (objective)

• Repeatable

Construction related indicators

• Built environment

• Decision making in building processes

Use Context

• Design (optimisation, solution oriented)

• Assessment (evaluation, improvement)

• Monitoring (changes, bench marking)

• Process quality (interaction between stakeholders, management performance)

• Common language

Levels

• National (wide scope, less construction related, mostly monitoring, bench marking)

• Urban (built environment, people, economic stability, mostly design and assessment)

• Building (environment, LCA based tools)

• Materials (environment, LCA based tools)

Dutch Approach

• Environment: indicators based on LCA ball park figures

• Social: indicators based on number of people affected, distances, (surface) area, quality classifications

• Economic: indicator based on local employment, flexibility/capacity to change

THEME: ENVIRONMENTISSUE: Water

1. Indicator(a) Name: Rainwater(b) Short description: Rainwater retention in the area(c) Unit of measurement: % rainwater infiltrated/total amount(d) Type of indicator (Pressure, State, Response): P

2. Relation with functions and physical objects paving, sewage system, surface water

3. Significance (Policy Relevance)(a) Purpose & Relevance sewage treatment, drought, biodiversity(b) Relation with other indicators: Dehydration, Quality of life(c) Targets or thresholds: not available

4. Calculation method and Underlying Definitions(a) Calculation method: hard surface versus total surface, rainfall(b) Definitions and terminology: …….(c) Required input data: infrastructure, rainfall data
